Letra
Underneath this canopy of snow Where fifty-seven winters Took their toll Where did you go? And I believed in you I believed in you Like Elvis Presley Singing psalms on a Sunday (Where did you go?) Well she's gone to meet her maker Back to where she came from Come to save her soul... Come to save her soul... Come to take her home 'Cause it's late and past Your bedtime Well past bedtime Angel My angel Fly over me Angel... She took her life Within her hands She took her life Within her own two hands And no-one can tell her What to do now And I believed in you I believed in you Like Elvis Presley Singin live from Las Vegas (Where did you go?) Well she's gone to meet Her maker Back to where she came from Come to save her soul... - Revival4:06
Letra
Well I passed you by this morning You were stumblin' down the street And by the look upon your face I could tell you wasn't Feeling too sweet - You dropped down to the bottom - That's what you Gone and did - Livin' in a bad dream Finally flipped your lid Well - Superman I've got News for you And every body else That's listenin' too There's a new way out If yer ready to hear We're gonna make it clear What we need is revival! Revival. Look at that girl She's the saddest thing You've ever seen - Washed up and faded Like a dirty old pair of jeans She's running round in circles But she don't have a single friend - Looks like her own bitterness Has twisted her till the end Well - Mona Lisa look me in the eye And tell me when You're gonna get satisfied I'm gonna spell it out Right in front of you This is what you have to do - Get ready for revival! Revival... R.E.V.I.V.A.L. It's gonna lift you Right up From your prison cell Play it out loud Like a ringing bell You go R.E.V.I.V.A.L. - You Hurt Me (And I Hate You)4:23
Letra
Well the sun came up this morning Like a burning red balloon It broke into my window And it slipped across the room It spread itself upon me Like the smell of sweet perfume I was sleeping like a baby I'm not a saviour I'm not a saint I'm not an angel I'm not that quaint Don't need a preacher To be that wise Don't need a teacher - I've got my eyes... You hurt me & I hate you You hurt me A history of bitterness You have left a blazing trail If you had been a hammer I'd be a broken nail You gave me nothing - Nothing but regrets Don't think it's over - It's not over yet You hurt me & I hate you You hurt me... (And everytime You try to fool yourself You've only got yourself To blame And every lie you ever Told yourself Will all come back to you One day)* [They say there's no hell on earth That's like a woman scorned And if you have to face yourself You'll wish you'd not been born And if you have to face yourself You'll find me standing there In the shadows, in the corners At the foot of every stair]* - Sylvia4:44
Letra
Sylvia is missing - Dark stars tattooed Across her face... Tiny bruises Black & blue The dedication on her arm Reads "LOVE & HATE" Yea yea Passing through the underground Sylvia is coming down The queen has lost her crown Today... She wants to fall Into a deep deep sleep So she can forget herself Run away to London Lipstick tainted Powder painted Perfume in her hair Run away to London A thousand cold caresses Couldn't keep her there Yea yea She wants to fall Into a deep deep sleep So she can forget herself The finger prints Of strangers On the ugly bedroom floor Reveal the only traces Of what Sylvia was for - How Long?4:41
Letra
It's five o'clock In the afternoon Somebody's playing A sixties tune on the radio A lazy wind tumbles Down the street It shakes the dust up With the summer heat Where the people go... In fancy town Where nothing's real They don't consider What you feel In fancy town It's black & white They close their minds They say Wrong is right How long Will your love Hold on To stay strong enough In fancy town The attitude Could strip you bare Like frozen food A ship of fools In a crazy choir Is gonna take you home And light your fire In fancy town Where nothing's real They don't consider What you feel In fancy town It's black & white They close their minds They say Wrong is right How long Will your love Hold on To stay strong enough A deck of cards In perfect black Like cold cement On the pavement cracks Where lovers steal And beg for time And doctors sign On the dotted line... - When the Day Goes Down5:57
Letra
Well don't you cry now - Don't go drowning in your tears Haven't you learnt anything After all these years? All God's little children Are beautiful & pure And you're as good As all of them Of this you can be sure And we are just the same Underneath the shadows Of the sun And we are just the same No more no less than anyone All the people Of this lonely world Have got some pain inside Don't go thinking You're the only one Who ever broke right down And cried That's when the rain comes down That's when the rain comes down And this is for the broken dreamers This is for vacant souls This is for the hopeless losers This is for the hopeless fools And the burnt out And the useless And the lonely & the weak And the lost & the degraded & the too dumb to speak And the day goes down That's when the day Goes down
